Russia has been a staunch ally of the Assad regime in the ongoing civil war in Syria where tens of thousands of people have lost lives and countless more lost homes and left Syria for a safe life.

A Russian #Su25 jet crashed in Idlib province in north-western #Syria on Saturday, the Russian Defence Ministry confirmed, adding that it was probably shot down by an air-defence weapon. The pilot ejected but was killed by militants on the ground, according to the Russian Defence pic.twitter.com/nOHRArSDK3

The Syrian crisis led the worst refugee crisis in the modern history inciting political unrest in some of the advanced European countries like Germany, Britain, and the Netherlands.

Russia shouldered the Syrian leader Bashar al Assad in a time when the rebel groups almost cornered the battling regime of Syria.
